Chicken Saute With Vegetables

1. 1

   Sear the chicken breast until opaque.

   • Heat neutral oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breast pieces in a single layer.
   • Sear for 4 minutes until the meat turns opaque and lightly browned.
   • Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

   TIPAvoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the chicken sears rather than steams.
2. 2

   Sauté the aromatics and vegetables.

   • Add onion to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
   • Stir in minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Toss in the red bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
   • Add the tomato and cook for another 3 minutes until softened.
   • Stir in turmeric, smoked paprika, garam masala, and salt for 1 minute.
3. 3

   Combine the chicken with vegetables and finish.

   • Return the seared chicken to the pan.
   • Toss everything together for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
   • Turn off the heat.
   • Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped cilantro.

   TIPAdding lemon juice at the very end preserves its bright acidity and Vitamin C.
